The Diversity Project has identified the important role that line or people managers can play in creating an inclusive culture.
Research into current line manager practice around selection, training, objective-setting, performance appraisal and rewards was conducted during 2020 and the results led to a paper Why Line Management is Critical to Creating an Inclusive Culture (also see full version and line management webinar) full being written which recommended that firms hold conversations with line managers with a view to making changes, if necessary, to the firm’s approach to line management.
Redington volunteered to use the conversation guide with its own group of line managers.
